Online, November 19, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Pepper Spray is a nonlethal aerosol spray made with the pepper derivative oleoresin capsicum; used to cause temporary blindness and incapacitate an attacker; also used as a bear deterrent. Pepper spray, also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, and capsicum spray, is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) that is used in riot control, crowd control, and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears.
Although considered a less lethal agent, it may be deadly in rare cases, and concerns have been raised about a number of deaths were being pepper sprayed may have been a contributing factor, possibly due to an interaction with cocaine. Potential long-term effects of pepper spray have not been effectively researched.[citation needed]The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilies. Extraction of oleo-resin capsicum from peppers involves finely ground capsicum, from which capsaicin is extracted in an organic solvent such as ethanol. The solvent is then evaporated, and the remaining wax like resin is the oleoresin capsicum. An emulsifier such as propylene glycol is used to suspend the OC in water, and pressurized to make it aerosol in pepper spray. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is used to measure the amount of capsaicin within pepper sprays. Scoville Heat Units (SHU) are used to measure the concentration or "heat" of pepper spray. Oleoresin capsicum also is used in foods where the flavor and piquancy are desired without visible pepper specks, or to standardize the Scoville units.
